MAXXIS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION
We were incorporated on January 24, 1997 and are headquartered in
Tucker, Georgia. Our principal business operations are carried out
through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Maxxis 2000, Inc. and Maxxis
Communications, Inc., each of which began operations in March 1997, and
Maxxis Nutritionals, Inc., which began operations in November 1997. We
were founded for the purpose of providing long-distance services,
private label nutritional products, and other services and consumable
products through a multilevel marketing system of independent
associates, or "IAs". Our IAs market communications and Internet
services and nutritional and health enhancement products.
Our ability to grow and expand may require us to implement and expand
our operational and financial systems, recruit additional IAs, and
train and manage both current and new IAs. Growth may place a
significant strain on our operational resources and systems, and
failure to effectively manage any such growth might have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
2. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of our management, the unaudited financial statements
contain all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2001 and the results
of our operations and our cash flows for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

end of the original lease term. Assets under capital leases are
included in property and equipment in the September 30, 2001
consolidated balance sheet at a gross book value of approximately
$4,650,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We market communications and Internet services and nutritional and
health enhancement products in the United States through our multi-level network
marketing system of "independent associates," or "IAs." We operate through our
subsidiaries: Maxxis 2000; Maxxis Communications; and Maxxis Nutritionals.
Maxxis 2000 is a network marketing company that currently markets
1-Plus long distance service, travel cards, prepaid phone cards, 800 service and
international telecommunications services, Internet access and Web-page
development and hosting services, and nutritional and health enhancement
products. We believe that a multi-level network marketing system allows us to
obtain customers for our products in a cost effective manner and enhances
customer retention because of the relationships between our IAs and their
customers. The telecommunications customer base developed by our IAs provides a
potential customer base for our nutritional and health enhancement products,
Internet-related services and for future products.
We initially built a customer base without committing capital or
management resources to construct our own communications network and
transmission facilities. In February 1997, Maxxis Communications contracted with
Colorado River Communications, Corp. ("CRC") to obtain switching and network
services and to allow CRC's communications services to be sold by our IAs. In
September 1998, we entered into a long-term lease commitment for the exclusive
use of telecommunications switching equipment (the "Maxxis Switch") along with
certain ancillary computer hardware and software required to operate the Maxxis
Switch. In January 1999, we notified CRC of our intent to terminate our 1-Plus
agreement and begin a process of migrating our customers to the Maxxis
communications network. At that time, we entered into an agreement with
WorldCom, Inc. to provide us with the necessary private lines, circuits and
other network services to be able to originate and terminate telephone calls
through the Maxxis Switch. In March 1999, we entered an agreement with IXC
Communications Services, Inc. to provide switched services for carrying the
portion of the Maxxis traffic that does not go through the Maxxis Switch. During
the period of April through July 1999, we migrated our long distance customers
from CRC's network to the Maxxis Switch, where we are currently responsible for
the provision of telecommunications services and customer support to our long
distance customers.
In November 1997, we began marketing several private label dietary
supplements to our customers and IAs. Recently, we began marketing additional
nutritional and health enhancement products that are manufactured by various
suppliers. In September 1998, we began providing Internet access and Web-page
development and hosting services. Internet access is provided by Maxxis
Communications through its agreement with InteReach Internet Services, LLC, and
Web-page development and hosting services are provided by Maxxis Communications.
We conduct marketing activities exclusively through our network of IAs.
We believe that IAs are generally attracted to our multi-level network marketing
system because of the potential for supplemental income and because our IAs are
not required to purchase any inventory, have no monthly sales quotas or account
collection issues, have minimal required paperwork and have a flexible work
schedule. We encourage IAs to market services and products to persons with whom
the IAs have an ongoing relationship, such as family members, friends, business
associates and neighbors. We also sponsor meetings which current IAs are
encouraged to bring in others for an introduction to our marketing system. Our
multi-level network marketing system and our reliance upon IAs are intended to
reduce marketing costs, customer acquisition costs and customer attrition. We
believe that our multi-level network marketing system will continue to build a
base of potential customers for additional services and products.
We derive revenues from communications services, nutritional products
and marketing services. Communications services revenues are comprised of: sales
of prepaid phone cards to our IAs; commissions, fees and revenues generated from
our long distance customers; and subscription fees from our Internet
subscribers. Because of the administrative procedures that must be complied with
in order to establish 1-Plus customers and to collect the usage and access fees
from the local exchange carriers, there is generally a delay of up to three to
four
8
months from the time a prospective customer indicates a desire to become a
1-Plus customer and the time that we begin to receive commissions from such
customer's usage. In the future, we believe that revenues generated on the sales
of 1-Plus long distance services will constitute a decreasing percentage of our
total revenues.
Nutritional products revenues include sales of private-label
nutritional products, health enhancement products, a weight management program
and a skin care system. Marketing services revenues include application fees
from IAs and purchases of sales aids by IAs, including distributor kits which
consist of forms, promotional brochures, audio and video tapes, marketing
materials and presentation materials. Marketing services revenues also include
training fees paid by senior associates and "managing directors" or "MDs." To
become an independent associate, individuals (other than individuals in North
Dakota) must complete an application and purchase a distributor kit. Independent
associates also pay an annual non-refundable fee, which we amortize into
revenues over the renewal period, in order to maintain their status as an
independent associate. MDs must attend continuing education training schools
each year which also are subject to a fee. The training fees are recognized at
the time the training is received. We do not receive any fees from independent
associates for the training provided by MDs or national training directors.
Cost of services consists of communications services cost, nutritional
products cost and marketing services cost. Communications services cost consists
primarily of the cost of purchasing activated prepaid phone cards, the Maxxis
Switch and network services. Nutritional products cost consists of the cost of
purchasing private label nutritional products. Marketing services cost includes
the costs of purchasing IA distributor kits, sales aids and promotional
materials and training costs. Operating expenses consist of selling and
marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Selling and
marketing expenses include commissions paid to IAs based on: (i) usage of long
distance services by customers; (ii) sales of products to new IAs sponsored into
Maxxis; and (iii) sales of additional products and services to customers.
General and administrative expenses include costs for IA support services,
information systems services and administrative personnel to support our
operations and growth.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
Net Revenues. Total net revenues are derived from sales of
communications services, nutritional products and marketing services. Total net
revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 38%, to $2.1 million for three months ended
September 30, 2001 from $3.4 million for the same period in 2000. The decrease
in total net revenues was primarily due to lower sales promotions related to our
communications, nutritional products and marketing services as well as worse
general economic conditions for the customers of our IAs.
Communications services revenues consist of sales of prepaid phone
cards to IAs and commissions, fees and revenues generated from long distance
customers and fees generated from Internet services and web hosting activities.
Communications services revenues decreased $92,000, or 9%, to $965,000 for three
months ended September 30, 2001 from $1,057,000 for the same period in 2000.
This decrease was primarily due to increased competition in the communications
services industry, which caused us to lose customers.
Nutritional products revenues consist of sales of private label
nutritional products. Nutritional products revenues decreased $797,000, or 37%,
to $462,000 for three months ended September 30, 2001 from $1.3 million for the
same period in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the elimination of sales
promotions related to nutritional products for the three months ending September
30, 2001 compared to the number of sales promotions we offered for the three
months ending September 30, 2000.
Marketing services revenues consist of application fees paid by
independent associates, purchases of sales aids by independent associates, and
registration fees related to annual summit marketing. Marketing services
revenues decreased $374,000, or 37%, to $648,000 for three months ended
September 30, 2001 from $1.0 million for the same period in 2000. This decrease
was due to a decrease in the number of new independent associates for the three
months ending September 30, 2001 compared to the three months ending September
30, 2000.
Cost of Goods and Services. Cost of goods and services includes
communications services cost, nutritional products cost and marketing services
cost. Total cost of goods and services for the three months ending September 30,
2001 was $856,000, or 41% of total net revenues, as compared to $1.5 million, or
46% of
10
total net revenues, for the same period in 2000. The decrease in costs of goods
and services as a percentage of total net revenues was due to cost control
measures in connection with our telecommunications switch and better prices on
the purchase of our nutritional products inventory.
Communications services cost consisted primarily of the cost of
purchasing activated prepaid phone cards from WorldCom and other outside vendors
as well as the costs of operating the Maxxis Switch. Communications services
cost was $561,000, or 26% of total net revenues for the three months ending
September 30, 2001, as compared to $1.0 million, or 31% of total net revenues,
for the same period in 2000. This decrease in cost of communications services
was due primarily to better cost control measures and decreased sales volume for
the three months ending September 30, 2001. Nutritional products cost was
$97,000, or 5% of total net revenues for the three months ending September 30,
2001, as compared to $362,000, or 11% of total revenues for the comparable 2000
period. This decrease in the cost of nutritional products as a percentage of
total net revenues was due to better prices from our suppliers. Marketing
services cost was $198,000, or 10% of total net revenues for the three months
ending September 30, 2001, as compared to $137,000, or 4% of total net revenues,
for the same period in 2000. The increase in marketing services cost as a
percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to costs associated with the
introduction of new marketing products that we began to offer for sale to our
independent associates in the three months ending September 30, 2001.
Gross Margin. Gross margin decreased to $1.2 million for the three
months ending September 30, 2001 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2000.
As a percentage of total net revenues, gross margin was 59% for the three months
ending September 30, 2001 as compared to 54% for the three months ending
September 30, 2000.
Operating Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist of
commissions paid to independent associates based on (i) sales of products to new
independent associates sponsored into Maxxis, (ii) usage of long distance
services by customers, and (iii) sales of additional products and services to
customers. For the three months ending September 30, 2001, selling and marketing
expenses were $660,000, or 32% of total net revenues, as compared with $881,000,
or 26% of total net revenues, for the same period in 2000. This decrease was due
to the decrease in the number of IAs as well as lower commissions resulting from
lower sales revenue. General and administrative expenses were $966,000, or 46%
of total net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2001, as
compared to $1,132,000, or 34% of total net revenues, for the same period in
2000. Total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 78%
of net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2001 from 60% of net
revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2000 due to the large portion
of general and administrative expenses that are fixed in nature relative to the
decreased total net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2001.
Interest Expense. For the three months ending September 30, 2001,
interest expense was $94,000, of which $91,000 related to the lease of the
Maxxis Switch. Interest expense of $206,000 for the three months ending
September 30, 2000 was largely comprised of $160,000 of interest costs related
to the lease of the Maxxis Switch which were included in general and
administrative expenses.
Net Income/Loss. Net loss for the three months ending September 30,
2001 was $501,000 as compared to a net loss of $252,000 for the three months
ending September 30, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended September 30, 2001, net cash provided by
operating activities was $84,000 as compared to cash used by operating
activities of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
Operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2001 included
$501,000 of net loss and $585,000 million of changes in assets and liabilities
consisting primarily of a $407,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities and a $72,000 decrease in inventories.
Cash used in investing activities was $284,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $49,000 for the same period in 2000.
Investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2001 consisted
primarily of software development costs and capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities was $178,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $189,000 for the same period in 2000.
As of September 30, 2001, we had cash of $126,000 and a working capital
deficit $1.1 million as compared to cash of $48,000 and a working capital
deficit of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2001.
On September 29, 1998, we entered into a long-term lease commitment for
the exclusive use of the Maxxis Switch, along with certain ancillary computer
hardware and software required to operate the Maxxis Network. In connection with
the lease of the Maxxis Switch, Maxxis made an initial payment of $501,000.
Monthly payments of $118,000 began in January 1999 and will continue until 2004.
We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with
proceeds from our ongoing equity offering, will be sufficient to meet our
capital requirements for the next 12 months. However, if we do not receive
sufficient funds from our operations and equity offering to fund our operations,
we may need to raise additional capital. In addition, any increases in our
growth rate, shortfalls in anticipated revenues, increases in expenses or
significant acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity
and capital resources and could require us to raise additional capital. We may
also need to raise additional funds in order to take advantage of unanticipated
opportunities, such as acquisitions of complementary businesses or the
development of new products, or otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive
pressures. Sources of additional capital may include venture capital financing,
cash flow from operations, lines of credit and private equity and debt
financings. Our cash and financing needs for fiscal 2002 and beyond will be
dependent on our level of IA and customer growth and the related capital
expenditures, advertising costs and working capital needs necessary to support
such growth. We believe that major capital expenditures may be necessary over
the next few years to develop additional product lines to sell through our IAs
and to develop and/or acquire information, accounting and/or inventory control
systems to monitor and analyze our growing multi level network marketing system.
We have not identified financing sources to fund such cash needs in fiscal 2002
and beyond. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any such
capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
